Gary Neville reacts to ‘strange’ Man United news which came out earlier this week
It’s expected to be a summer of real change at Manchester United following the arrival of INEOS.
Erik ten Hag’s future remains undecided but it would appear that the Dutchman is under considerable pressure after a poor season.
The former Ajax boss will get the opportunity to secure his second trophy since moving to Old Trafford in this month’s FA Cup final.
But a host of names have already been linked with a switch to Manchester, including the likes of Gareth Southgate, Roberto De Zerbi and Graham Potter.
Regardless of who’s in the dugout next season, it’s evident that plenty of change is needed on the pitch at United.
And the Red Devils have already begun that process, with Raphael Varane confirming this summer upon his contract expiring.

Neville labels Raphael Varane announcement ‘strange’
After starring under Ten Hag last season, things have proven to be difficult for Varane this term.
The Frenchman has managed just 16 starts in the Premier League after struggling with injuries.
It feels like the right time for the 31-year-old to move on, with United looking to bolster their options at centre-back. But Gary Neville has labelled the timing of the announcement as ‘strange’.
“Raphael Varane has just announced that he’s leaving Man United, it’s a strange time, it feels like, for him to announce it,” he told .
Roy Keane responded: “Yeah but his contract was up, wasn’t it?”
“But it’s just a strange time with a couple of weeks to go in the season,” Neville added.
Keane went on: “Are they trying to give him a bit of respect by announcing it now?”
United’s options at centre-back
It’s no secret that United have struggled at centre-back this season, with Lisandro Martinez missing the majority of the campaign through injury.
Ten Hag has been short of options in the position in recent months and United are already eyeing reinforcements.
Indeed, it was claimed on Tuesday that they will rival Newcastle United for the signing of free agent Tosin Adarabioyo.
Adarabioyo has impressed at Fulham and would certainly improve United’s depth at centre-back. But given the fact that they are about to lose a world-class defender in Varane, you’d like to think United will target a marquee addition in the position.
